melting the wax with the same lens she's bug-like stasis, gods way of playing with the past again and i can be you if i can reach you looking to see what you do you're looking back, confused

liminal life 01:21
lyrics

nostalgic eye creates a liminal life of keyboard turning fear into a pose camera-playing like she doesn't know my sample graining Now into a ghost unfinished by the force of video i hope the water never freezes and that the wax stays hot i hope the wounds forever bleeding i hope the movie doesnt stop you're my favourite sample use you when i'm stuck hope that i don't lose you always back you up you're my favourite pictures colours of the sun break you into pixels smash you til i'm numb they're my favourite actor stuck under my thumb i will never lose me always smash me up

paper flames 04:50

archeological habits the maker of scabs and no new melodies or words but the ones that bled and dried before and it wasn't a war and it wasn't a war before i melted the wax paper flames in the dark start of every end still keep matches on the bedside smoke me out again paper flames in the dark start of every end still keep a camera on the bedside light another lens i've come a long way with you now paper flames in the dark start of every end still keep matches on the bedside smoke me out again paper flames in the dark start of every end still keep a camera on the bedside light another lens

this torment won't be through until i've spent my life with you 03:06
lyrics
buy track
when you've shot yourself so many times you lose track of which bullets stayed lodged in the flesh and which infections spread the internet and how many deaths you've had before each doomed to rebirth as an album as a movie as i do this to you i do this to me i've shot myself so many times so much footage lost, but somewhere on the internet a ghost of her is dressed performing presently a deleted scene or soundbite she becomes an album or a movie i do this to you i do this to me i will never remember this sun because you sapped it of it's colour you drained it of its warmth you stole us out of time again again to tell you that i stole you again to make an album again to make a movie

feels like nothing 04:32
lyrics

these days i feel like i might die just call me beautiful one more time such ugly music stomach pain in openness, just eyes and air between us, being heard hurts without a song but being sung feels like nothing so undestructive don't call me beautiful because it hurts like the past

new images 03:02
lyrics
buy track
is this what you were hoping for? the captured past of us, abused and worn the happy ending wasn't yours to choose but it couldn't hurt to lose and it's good to cry i hope the water never dries i hope new images flood your eyes i hope they burn in another light is this how you thought the film would end? the image looks down and sees her hands, the image looks up and sees the lens the image slips out, the pixels bend and it's good to cry i hope the water never dries i hope new images flood your eyes i hope they burn in another light i hope she burns in another light i hope i burn in another light i hope we burn in another light

about

Shooting films in my dark room on my phone or a second hand Sony handheld, shooting myself in the shadows, shooting myself in mirrors, striking matches, wearing dresses, spinning, dancing, smiling, drinking. Some of it makes it to the internet, on old youtube accounts or a google drive, some of it is a memory i watch back like i'm looking through the viewfinder. Some images found their way into other projects, sitting next to images made in other rooms, to sounds from years in the future -- and these images continued to return, continued to be stretched and warped and reanimated, gradually losing the contexts they were shot in. This project was made with this feeling of stagnation in mind, a reflection on making art that reflects forever and ever, an artist scared of letting go, and a hopeful final delve into those sounds and images before turning to something new.
